So ‘Take up Your Cross’ Is Metaphor but ‘Take, Eat’ Is Literal?

I was once told, ” knowledge is power “, however, I learned from a great man, ” knowledge ain’t shit, applied knowledge is power ” and like anything else, if you don’t use it, you can lose it. My our Creator grand you a blessed day.

Sacramental Realism is a dogma which cannot be established from Scripture; in fact, is baldly in opposition to the New Testament presentation of spiritual efficacy, not through ritual act, nor through priestly mediation, but through receipt of Holy Spirit Baptism, as at Pentecost and continuing thereafter. Sacramentalists point to the wedding at Cana (John 2) and the miraculous multiplication of loaves associated with the Sermon on the Mount (John 6). But significantly there was no bread at Cana, no wine included on the Mount, no ceremonial act taking place at either location, no “institution” of a ritual or sacrament, nor connection with spiritual efficacy; moreover, all of these events took place prior to the Last Supper and to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
